Maybe Sheffield and doubling down in the Championship - although goodness knows what his converted Championship average would be? Also wonder if Bridger would also want to do the championship along with top flight if he decides to return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one thing he retired with a nasty neck injury that will probably trouble him for the rest of his life and he knows another knock could be very serious, and secondly his heart was never really in the sport during his last 2/3 years when he was distracted by his turbulent personal life. As we all know speedway is dangerous enough as it is but even more so if you can’t commit 100%. I like Lewis, but he is his own worst enemy, and I hope for his sake he stays retired.

tellboy Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Bit of a shock,but if he signs for Lynn i for one will give him a chance to prove he has changed his ways a bit.4 years out is a long while and this may have re-kindled his love of the sport he had as a youngster.Undoubtedly he had great talent and if he came in at a low enough average say for reserve it could be a great coup for any team.He could also not be a great coup,time will tell i suppose .But i think he deserves every chance like most of us do at some point in our lives.And i am not a Bridger fan,but he could change my mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 I think we are going to get more and more of this in light of COVID and Poland.....clubs are going to prefer UK based riders who will prioritise our domestic racing and not spend money flying European riders in and out.

Who could that be? A shock i would say Parker,Johnston,Sullivan,Watt. Not so much a shock Smith,North,Skidmore.All mainly due to age,but Crump has shown that to be irrelevant really.

Bagpuss Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 So assuming Bridger signs Lynn will presumably line up like this Cook Riss Jorgensen Kerr Proctor Bridger While the priority should be to get the league up and running again I wonder if this is an indication of team strengths this season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therefused Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 He always rode Lynn well whenever he was there too, especially in his younger days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Najjer Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 People seem to have overlooked with Riss that he competes in the Polish 2nd Division, so is only able to ride in two other leagues aswell. You’d anticipate that would rule him out of at least one of Redcar or Lynn, maybe even both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
